(The upcoming words have nothing to do with this awesome picture, not directly)
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to?
Your are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightening about striking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is with us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
and as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
I received these words from my former Counselor, I say former because he has since moved on to another clinic to practice, which I am bummed about. I have had the paper that these words are on, on a wall right across from my bed so that I see them every morning and any other time I walk by that wall.
